Welcome to Contra Dancing |
|
Harvest Moon Folk Society is a community of musicians, dancers, and dance callers whose mission is to promote, sponsor, and encourage participation in folk and traditional dance for people in and around upstate SC. We hold several public contra dances each month at River Falls Lodge in northern Greenville County, SC and at the YWCA in Greenville, SC. River Falls Lodge dances are held on most first, third, and fourth Saturdays, and one Friday a month (experienced dancers only). Everyone is welcome at Saturday night pot luck dinners (6:30 pm). We recommend newcomers attend the orientation session which starts promptly at 7:30. The dance is 8:00 to 11:00 pm. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for teen-agers 14-17. Camping space is available for out-of-town dancers who want to spend the night at River Falls Lodge.
